"DigiRostrum is simply the best rostrum software available. Nothing else offers the same high level of control, vital for professional rostrum work."

Ken Morse

"Congratulations on your superb DigiRostrum software. It's truly a delight to use. The ease of use and quality of motion offered by your software is far superior to any competing product."

Bill Tondreau (Oscar winner for motion control on Lord of the Rings)

"We were commissioned to produce a high-volume, low-cost series featuring lots of expensive world class photography for BBC2. Quite a challenge. We found that DigiRostrum was an efficient and flexible way of incorporating the stills into the series. Even better, we made dramatic savings on rostrum costs that helped us put more photographs on screen. DigiRostrum was a revelation. It transformed the way we work."

Chris Granlund (Series Producer, World's Most Photographed - BBC Arts)

Version 3 of DigiRostrum has been rewritten from the ground up using Python, C++, wxWidgets and OpenGL to create a state of the art, fully cross-platform desktop application.
